This seems way, way more reasonable than WeWork.
Maybe if Altman bought every datacenter and then nudged OpenAI toward renting them out, or if Altman bought the "Open" trademark and licensed it to OpenAI for a million dollars or whatever.
- bmitc 3y ago> This seems way, way more reasonable than WeWork. Really? Altman advertised and marketed himself as someone with no vested financial interest in OpenAI, but then he's going around creating companies with foreign states and companies that will then sell to the non-profit he's CEO of?
- satellite2 3y agoNo one is saying that. If the chip making subsidiary was owned by OpenAI it could have very well allowed economies of scale and enable reducing dependency on Microsoft. Perfectly aligned with OpenAI goals.
- freejazz 3y agoBut it wouldn't be owned by OpenAI - that's the other poster's point. You're making it for them.
- ethanbond 3y agoTo be clear, I don’t think that would be totally above board; it wouldn't seem ethical to my moral compass at least. I just think it’s far short of the completely indefensible, totally unambiguous, and obviously fraudulent behavior of Neumann. There are gradations of conflict and malfeasance.
- bmitc 3y agoThat's a fair and good point.
